== Where are our readers from? ==
Some time ago (technically last year ;) I raised the question about who's reading what - and more importantly (for me) from where. (See [[Talk:The_OLPC_Wiki#Visitor statistics|here]]).

My question originates in that knowing that kind of information we may be able either to tune content or promote/demote links in the front page, faq, etc. For example, if I knew that it was argies rarely visit Argentina's page, it could mean that they are looking for other kind of news, data, whatever; but at least I'd know they aren't reading it - maybe it's just lack of local diffusion.--[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 20:49, 20 January 2007 (EST)

Some notes for administrators.

  • is there an admin-list or similar?
    See Special:Listusers
  • if not, is there a de-facto place in the wiki to coordinate?
    This one!
  • I've been patrolling the general edits, does it help? I try not to patrol technical and similar edits that may compromise the hardware/software builds, etc
    Yes, it helps.


  • I've been doing some reworks with the Ask OLPC a Question area (mainly writing up /Summary pages for the ... about XXX pages). The selection of questions (and body of the answer) could use some OLPC staff member to review their correctness. comments? should those /Summary pages be protected? if yes, only to registered users or exclusively admins?
    No need to protect them; just keep an eye on them. I try not to protect anything until some vandal starts to make them unusable.
